Work with Animation Sets An animation set contains a list of geometry objects to be animated, and a list of keyframes that describe how it is to be animated. Your scene can have as many animation sets as you want, and you can also have the same geometry objects in different animation sets within the same scene. The order of animation sets within a scene is important, and can be used to control the final object position when the same object is used in multiple animation sets. Add Animation Sets An animation set can be based on the current selection in the Scene Area, or on the current selection set or current search set. When you add an animation set based on a selection set, the contents of the animation set is automatically updated if the contents of the source selection set change. When you add an animation set based on a search set, the contents of the animation set is updated each time the model changes to include everything in the search set. NOTE Any changes to search/selection sets during the animation playback are ignored. If the model changes so that objects in a particular animation are missing, they are automatically removed from the animation set when the corresponding NWD or NWF file is resaved. Finally, if the selection or search sets are deleted rather than being lost, the corresponding animation set becomes a static selection of objects based on what it last contained.

NOTE The keyframes are not affected by this operation. 288 | Chapter 13 Animate Objects
